User-centred digital solution for dentofacial deformities management: an innovative approach technology based

This study highlights that the Blueprint methodology proves instrumental in pinpointing specific characteristics and unmet needs of various patient groups. The critical gaps in the diagnostic-therapeutic pathway for patients with dentofacial deformities and underscores the potential of digital solutions in addressing these unmet needs. By creating a detailed patient Persona, by using The Blueprint methodology, and mapping their challenges, psychological support, nutritional guidance, oral hygiene advice have been identified as unmeet needs. The proposed digital tools, including video tutorials, online courses, smartphone notifications, social media channels, and multidisciplinary platforms, provide a promising avenue to enhance patient engagement, streamline care delivery, and improve overall treatment outcomes. Future research should focus on validating these solutions in clinical settings to ensure their feasibility and effectiveness in addressing the unique demands of DFD patients.
